Police: Marietta couple used dating app to lure and ambush man
A pregnant mother and her 17-year-old boyfriend, arrested along with three juveniles accused in a series of car break-ins in Cobb County on Wednesday, are now facing other charges for allegedly ambushing a man who they lured to a vacant house using a dating app, Channel 2 Action News reported.
Stephanie Hogan, 26, and Dontavious Harris, both of Marietta, are charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault and other charges in connection with a Oct. 14 incident in which a man was shot multiple times on Lakemont Drive in Marietta, Cobb County police spokeswoman Officer Alicia Chilton said.
The man, who was not identified, thought he was meeting a woman who he’d connected with via Tinder, but instead was attacked by three men, Channel 2 said, adding that the activity is considered gang-related.
Hogan and Harris were in the Cobb County Adult Detention Center without bond.
Hogan, Harris and the three juveniles — two 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old — were sought for auto break-ins in parking lots in the Austell and Mableton areas, and arrested in the Town Center Mall area, where police said witnesses saw them breaking into autos.
